# Curator Onboarding

Curators are systematic trading teams who deploy and manage strategies within Neutral Trade's Neutral Strategy Vaults infrastructure, attracting external capital without handling operations, fund setup, or investor relations.

**Do you qualify?**

| Criterion            | Minimum                                                    |
| -------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Sharpe ratio**     | 1.5 or above (exceptions for uncorrelated strategies)      |
| **Market bias**      | Low directional; persistent long/short bias is not a fit   |
| **Execution**        | Fully systematic. No discretionary or screen-based trading |
| **Signal frequency** | Daily or higher                                            |

We prioritize strategies that are uncorrelated to our existing vaults. Niche or low-capacity strategies with genuine decorrelation often receive larger allocations than higher-capacity strategies with overlapping signals.

**What Neutral Trade provides**

* **Single SMA management** — point all investors to Neutral Trade; manage one account instead of many.
* **Automated fee charging** — performance fees calculated per-wallet against individual high water marks. No manual invoicing.
* **Institutional infrastructure** — prime access to Binance, OKX, Bybit, Gate, Kucoin, Bitget, Hyperliquid, Lighter, Kraken, and Deribit. Off-exchange settlement for centralized exchange trading via Copper and Ceffu reduces exchange counterparty risk.
* **IP protection** — your code stays in your environment. Neutral Trade commits to never replicating or reverse-engineering your strategy.
* **Operational independence** — no exclusivity, no non-competes. You can manage outside capital alongside your Neutral Strategy Vault.
* **Focus on alpha** — Neutral Trade handles operations, investor relations, reporting, and technical onboarding (sub-account setup, API integration, transfer management).
* **Seamless Execution and Margin Management** — Neutral Trade’s proprietary Margin Management System can rebalance capital between exchanges and counterparties mentioned above automatically, triggered by a single API call.
